                         versus

State of Punjab and others
                                             ....Respondents

Present :   Mr. Vivek Singla, Advocate for
            Mr. ID Singla, Advocate for the petitioner


Pritam Pal,J. (Oral)

Petitioner has brought this petition under section 407 of Code

of Criminal Procedure for transfer of case titled as “State vs Gagan Kumar

and others” FIR No. 119 dated 20.6.2008 under sections 498-A, 406 IPC,

Police Station Mandi Gobindgarh, District Fatehgarh Sahib from the Court

of Judicial Magistrate Ist Class, Amloh District Fatehgarh Sahib to any

other competent court in District Ludhiana, Chandigarh or Jalandhar.

Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that here in the

instant case, private respondents are rich persons, against whom present

case has been got registered at the instance of petitioner, so she apprehends

that she cannot get justice there at Amloh. However, on the asking of the

Court, learned counsel has fairly stated that the Presiding Officer of the
Criminal Misc. -M No. 30860 of 2008 (O&M) -2-

trial court is proceeding in accordance with law and not under any pressure

and that the Presiding Officer is conducting the case impartially.

Since no allegations of any kind are there against the Presiding

Officer, there is no ground for transferring the case from Amloh.

Dismissed.
